one thing i enjoy about New Orleans is the access to foods you might have never had the chance to eat before. since i moved here in late March it’s just been a mouthful of new experiences.. it’s a rush meeting so many people will all similar ideas. it’s really great. it’s familiar.

i recently began adding my illustrations to seasonal artist shirts, i made a collection called Armageddon recently and it’s been really successful. i am way thankful for the support.

i will have a ton of dates for the market setups where you can grab my art coming up soon if you are a collector or just someone interested in my work and seeing it in real life.

last night my friend Pat and his girlfriend surprised me with tickets to see Deft-Ones. they are a Deftones tribute band from Houston Tx. i had a really great time, head banging all night to songs i never thought i would see performed. soon i will see Deftones. one day.

i want to make it a point to do awesome things everyday as soon as i get my bike fixed and document everything.

i recently embarked on a tour pieced together with members of our portculture music and arts collective. i booked a stream of events from Louisiana to Texas ranging from venues to house shows from August 10th to August 15th. i can say for sure that we all learned a ton as well as enjoyed every moment of it. this is the second tour that i’ve helped with since living in New Orleans. it’s really a honor to be working with such talented creators. we did the impossible and brought a dream to life.

the Lazy Sunday Tour was created with the musicians Austin Rapbaum, Big Bro, Samwyse Ganja, and Keith Jone$. we had support from members of our brothers in the Panda Mason Collective based in Slidell, LA. Neji Vibez, Djenko, Pauly, and Dapper Dan helped make this adventure a success. without them this would of been not as hype.

thanks for your help Jack and Conway again for helping make Lake Charles, LA a beautiful escape with extreme night life. that was extremely hype and unexpectedly amazing. that’s what we have to do, live with no expectations.

thank you Carter ( Swoozie ) for helping out with Houston, TX and inviting your friends out to get down with us. until next time.

i want to personally thank our friends in San Antonio, Tressa / Jason / and Josiah. San Antonio was a great first time experience. Thanks White Elephant Coffee Company, and thank you Franky Diablo’s for hosting us and allowing the vibes to spread. thanks for being consumed with our energy. seriously we can’t wait to be back again.

there are many more exciting adventures being had for the future for project portculture and the artists we represent. stay informed at our official website www.portculture.org

hey so life has been very eventful and im loving it. i have to say im sorry if i have been slow to respond or forgot to get back in touch with you, im starting to make lists to be sure to organize my time properly now that this is the 25th cycle of my life on earth,

i have met so many beautiful people during this time i would not trade it for a thing, i am actually really honored to have gotten to meet so many people that i have, it’s so surreal and it’s a blessing to call this life,

im literally floating in a head space of creativity. my entire life is centered around art, my friend groups all consist of artists, life reminds me to be thankful.

Armageddon: vol.i “the harbinger” – out now – email me

i am filled with blissful tears as i think back on the hundreds of people i have met and gotten to share a story with, you have given this life purpose.

words can’t describe how i feel right now and trying to explain them is just leaving me. im consumed with such a feeling that i wish to just preserve. four days ago i left my normal life behind to make art my living and breathing passion with daily creating and sharing of my pure determination to make it in the art realm.

ive traded days of constant worry for days of constant work on my craft in a city that favors the arts. i am thankful. i am thankful philanthropy is so high in the thirdcoast.

today i connected with James. he is from New York City. today James has given one of my original illustrations, of Omega Zander, a home with his collection of other artist. this moment was surreal to me. all of this is a dream and i am thankful to float through this realm like so.

i am also thankful for having a partner in crime making art here. we are very similar and our styles of art are so different. but it’s like we are both from the same tree. it’s very inspiring to say the least. we have a ton of plans in the works on what we plan to do as the ARTCVLT / THIRDCOAST ARTCVLT

another astonishing thing to me is the interest those have in our story of the many we meet in person and the views on this website. this is very humbling and brings many many emotions to my frame.

i keep telling everyone i plan to be extremely successful here and nothing will stop me…

i’m really glad to have this website up, it really helps me relay information to a mass in a very formal way, if i wanted to fill it with content or poetic attempts, either one is fine.

i’m currently in the gulf coast, third coast, with an assembled art gang. focused on pushing our brand to the public with wooden planks of “evil art”, while a trusted group of gang members promote live entertainment in Shreveport, Louisiana.

the creative craft is making art-tour rounds through the third coast to promote art, raw art. the art that you sacrifice your normal life for, this is how we exist. music, arts, culture. we are in the raw.

this has been a learning experience for us all. we are all growing as people daily. being in New Orleans is a really beautiful experience, we are mobbing deep like a gang. like an #ARTCVLT.

i’m selling my artwork getting plugged into the community and it’s been rewarding, i met really nice group of individuals, a collective called Panda Mason. really really really impressed with their progress as artists and their diversity. major loves. nice vibes. vibes.
